Money

 Money goes to your head. I find that very few people can manage large sums of money effectively.

It becomes kind of a routine. You know how much you need per month on food and essentials. But the philosophy of "making lots of money" and having tons of money is kind of an annoying responsibility. To live for money is not a good practice.

I would prefer to live for the things that give me enjoyment. I would love to get back into art. Creative outlets are great.

My hobbies sustain me and keep me moving forward day by day. I came into a bit of money recently and I found myself instinctively buying clothes on Amazon. I went overboard and bought an expensive item. I am waiting with trepidation as the item arrives, hoping that it will fit and be a good piece of clothing. I probably should not have purchased it, however.

I like the idea of a savings account. An account with money that you never touch. It just stays there. Then, you live "paycheque to paycheque", living within your means with the money that you earn or receive each month. This kind of prevents going overboard and going on a spending spree with the money you have saved up.

Learning how to manage money is an important life skill. I feel like you can never truly master it. Some people choose to have someone manage their money for them. But, as I have said regarding my opinion on roles, I don't really trust professionals.

I have concluded, pretty much, that professionals don't care about you. There are very few people in this world who do care about you. Listening to the ones that do will get you farther and provide more happiness than listening to professionals.

A professional relationship tips the power in favour of the person who is getting paid to interact. Whether it's a doctor, lawyer, nurse, therapist, or whatever, that person sees many people and you are a client and a paycheque to them. Find the people who really care about you and pay attention to them. If you are lucky enough to find someone who truly cares, hang on for dear life. Money will lead to corruption and reduce your happiness.
